Fall Home Improvement Tips and Scams to Watch Out For
Reprinted by: Accentuate Home Styling & Consulting
It's officially fall, which means now is the time to prepare your home for the colder months ahead.
It's officially fall, which means now is the time to prepare your home for the colder months ahead. This time of year, many popular home improvement services range from heating to roofing contractors, but it's important to do your research on a business to avoid falling victim to a scam.
BBB warns homeowners to be aware of common fall home improvement scams that may be circulating in your neighborhood.
Heating Contractors:
Before doing business with a heating contractor, find out what model system you own and its maintenance history. Make sure to check that the contractor's licensing and insurance meets your state's requirements. Don't forget to ask family members and friends for recommendations and check out reliable heating contractors at bbb.org. Be cautious of any heating contractors that solicit work door-to-door or claim they're offering a special deal for working nearby, this is always a red flag.
Roofing Contractors:
A roofing project requires a skilled and qualified contractor, so it's important to thoroughly research roofing contractors. Be sure to get at least three estimates for the job and don't feel pressured to hire the contractor with the lowest offer; the lowest offer will not always be the best. When getting an estimate, make sure the roofer does a thorough inspection rather than a quick estimate from the ground. Be sure to ask for proof of insurance, any required licenses and necessary permits. Be wary of any roofing contractors that solicit work door-to-door or offer low prices because they have left over materials from a previous job, this is a red flag.
Oil Contractors:
Oil is a necessity for many homeowners, making it important to find a reliable oil supplier that can both service your equipment and provide quality oil. Ask friends, family, and neighbors you trust to recommend affordable oil suppliers they may use. Contact multiple oil businesses to find the best offer and service plan for your needs. Be sure to research financing programs through oil suppliers, as there are multiple ways to pay for your service and oil. Understand the details of each program before signing any contracts. Finally, be cautious of any supplier that goes door-to-door offering very low prices for oil as pricing is determined by crude oil prices.
Chimney Contractors:
If you often cozy up by your fireplace or wood stove, it's important to have your chimney cleaned and inspected annually to ensure safety. A reputable chimney sweep will be able to clean and detect any dangerous problems within the chimney. Be sure to request multiple estimates from different chimney sweeps to compare the cost of the job that is needed. Check the credentials and find out if the contractor is certified through the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) and can provide proof. Ignore chimney sweeping businesses that solicit by phone or door-to-door and claim they were just "in the neighborhood." These scammers promise an extremely low price for a chimney cleaning, but once they start working they will "discover" an urgent repair. Scammers will take your money and leave the job unfinished or worse than it was before.
As with any home improvement service, it's important to do your research before hiring a contractor. Many scammers claim to be legitimate contractors, but aren't the roofing or heating contractor they claim to be. Although the scammers are out there, there are still many reputable home improvement contractors that will get the job done on time and within budget. To find a reliable contractor you can trust, check out the BBB Accredited Business Directory today.
Do You Think You Are Who You Are and Know Everything About Yourself?
Think small or big changes. I'm sure there's so much you'd like to do, especially since we are in the Fall season and according to protocol, colors must change. That even goes for the colors of our clothing as well as home. For some, they even change their hair color, nail colors, etc. It's a good thing and fun to experience changes. This way, you and I get to learn more and more about ourselves. Do you think because you are you that you know everything about you? Not so! There's so much you and I are constantly learning everyday ourselves. I just learn that I want to build pieces of furniture (can you believe that). Well, something new, and I am so excited to try my hand at it. Remember when you were small how great you felt when you tried something new or different and was complimented. Even if you weren't applauded for what you created, but at least for trying was the biggest thing….ever.
Thanks for allowing me to express and share some of life's great moments of discovery with you. This is also what I still get excited about. When I can help client's discover a plan of action for their space they didn't think they liked. But, when shown to them, they have this world win of discovery. I love it!
I know you have dreams about how your space will/could look. Wait, please allow me to share something quickly. Accentuate Home Styling & Consulting offers consultations for interior decorating, and we will assist you online. We assist our would-be clients in helping them cement a plan of action for their DIY proposed project.
I wanna meet you.
Yes, She's on Food Stamps and No, You Shouldn't Judge Her For It
BY DAWN MEEHAN | POSTED 3 MONTHS AGO (This is a repost)
"Must be nice to have the government pay for your food," a man muttered under his breath to a woman bagging the eggs, milk, and bread she'd just gotten at Aldi. The woman to whom his comments were directed, walked out to her car, her cheeks flaming, her stomach churning, its meager contents threatening to make a reappearance. The not-so-nice voice that resides in her head sneered at her, saying, "You can't even buy food for your kids. You're such a loser." She wrenched open the broken door of the beat-up, old van and the voice continued, "You can't even afford a car that isn't falling apart!"
She set the bag of groceries on the floor, got in, put her head down on the steering wheel and lost it. Hot tears streaked a path down her cheeks like lava steadily flowing from a volcano. That's the thing about keeping your emotions in check, tamping them down, pretending they don't exist – at some point, much like that volcano, they burst forth at the slightest provocation.
Fat tears continued to fall, leaving slight black mascara stains on her pants as she did that gasping/hiccuping/snotting thing, her face contorted with every ounce of pain she felt. She swiped at her drippy nose with the back of her hand, pulled it together, put on a happy face, and drove home to her kids.
I remember reading a friend's Facebook status a while ago wherein he complained that a woman had paid for her groceries with food stamps then proceeded to walk out of Walmart and get into a Cadillac. He had no problem judging this woman to be a scam artist based on his "vast knowledge" of her. Clearly, if she drove away in a Cadillac, the only logical conclusion is that she's scamming the system. Or maybe, just maybe she –
- Was borrowing her sister's car because she doesn't actually own a vehicle.
- Owns that Cadillac and lives in it too because her house was foreclosed on.
- Saved up and bought the Cadillac a couple years ago before her husband died leaving her with no source of income.
- Has a child dying of cancer and medical bills most of us can't even fathom and needs the food stamps to feed her other children right now.
- Bought the car long before her husband walked out on her and has since thought about selling her car to pay for food, but then she wouldn't have transportation to and from her job that barely pays the rent.
- Can hardly make ends meet herself yet has taken in her drug-addicted sister's kids to help raise them in a more stable environment.
- Any number of other scenarios that aren't nefarious.
This isn't about food stamps specifically. It's about judging others. Why are people so darn quick to judge? WHY? Why do people think they have enough information that they can determine the whole picture? Who appointed random strangers the judge, jury, and executioner of all mankind?
Maybe the man in Aldi would've kept his words to himself if he knew that the woman's 18-year marriage had ended and she was struggling, working two jobs, to take care of her kids by herself. Maybe if he knew that she received less than an third of the child support she was originally granted. Maybe if he knew she had over $10,000 in medical bills. Maybe if he knew she'd spent the morning at the courthouse trying to buy some time before her house is foreclosed on so that she could get a loan modification. Maybe if he knew this was her third attempt at going through the modification process because the first time it was denied because the bank wrote down her phone number incorrectly and apparently no one there knows how to use mail or email. After going through the whole tedious process a second time, it was denied because there was one typo on the employment verification letter and instead of simply asking her to correct and resubmit it, they denied her request altogether. Maybe if he knew she was missing work to go to court and was sick to her stomach because when she doesn't get paid for a couple hours, it makes a big difference. Maybe if he knew she was told it would take 5 minutes this morning, yet she fed the meter 2 hours' worth of quarters "just in case." Still, when she returned to her car, she found a parking ticket attached to the windshield because the meter had expired 5 minutes earlier. Maybe if he knew that when she got back to work, a coworker asked her, "What did you get your daughter for her birthday?" and she had to choke back tears, bite her lip until she tasted the metallic tang of blood, and cheerfully lie, "Oh I haven't really had time to shop yet." Maybe if he knew that her checking account had a negative balance because it's a week later than she usually gets paid and still no check from her one job, yet her automatic payments have gone through.
Then again, maybe it wouldn't have made the slightest difference to him. Maybe he was having a bad day himself. Maybe his own problems were weighing so heavily on his mind that he couldn't see beyond them. Maybe he was sinking in his own spiral of despair, questioning the existence of a God who doesn't seem to care. Maybe he was thinking, Why bother? What's the point? Or maybe he was just a close-minded jerk. Who knows? But that's my point. Who actually knows what's going on with the people around us? To think we have a clue based on a teeny, tiny glimpse into someone's life is ludicrous. We don't. So stop judging. Take a minute and realize that the person you're judging as rude, incompetent, stupid, annoying, ignorant might just be having a really crappy day. Know that you can't possibly know enough about this stranger to make an informed decision about their motivations and even if you could, it's still not your place to judge him. Period.
That is all. Carry on.
7 Design-Savvy Ways to Organize Your Home Color
What Would You Say If We Offered to Help You?
Hello, we are Accentuate Home Styling & Consulting. Recently, we were having a conversation about decorating with some friends. We made a discovery that many people like to personally work on their home decorating projects… themselves. They asked me about consulting for some additional ideas. This is a no brainer for us, as I come across many people who enjoy the process. Interested in knowing more, please contact us at http://accentuatehomestyling.com and fill out the comment section to let us know that you would like to talk.
Our consulting services will build a plan with your input that will be fun, fabulous and fresh. You will have a fantastic time implementing it. We are always thinking how to think outside the box. Why should your interior space look like your neighbors or friends? Step outside and explore. Let's work together and come up with ideas that galvanize a grand idea for your interior space. We're ready, are you? And, we'll make it easy for you to implement. Reach us at: http://accentuatehomestyling.com
What We Think About You…. The Truth Be Told!
First things first. In our title, we posted 'what we think about you….the truth be told'. That being said (twice now) means that you are someone very important. Even though we haven't met personally, I really believe that every person holds value. So, therefore, what we think about you is beyond the basic words, but for this blog, we will start out letting you know we care about you very much as a human being, and I think as a society it's important for people to know that.
Okay, I trust you. So, I'll tell you that my big secret is that I've decided to become a builder. No, not homes, boats or high rise buildings. It's about building ideas, it's about us building an insurmountable trust in one another. That is creating fun, excitement about your decorating abilities and ideas that would take you outside of your comfort box and challenge you to do something different with your interior space. That's what we'll do; help you formulate those ideas as unique to you and those living in the household. Too often, we decorate and then when its completed…it's not about you or others living under that roof. It is someone's else's idea that you saw in a magazine, on television or in a store display.
As a business focusing on something as close to you as your home, we want to be certain to assist you in exploring all your decorating possibilities. Lifestyle and choices are so important and we all are unique. We all love items for the home that we see in other's home, the store, but really is that you? It's perfectly fine to buy from the store, seek ideas from others or the magazines, but what is it that makes you and your family unique, what is it that doesn't display itself in a way that it works in your home? We want to assist you in whatever way you feel you need assistance without actually doing your project for you. We know if you've decided to decorate there is a part of you that would love to be involved in putting it all together from start to finish. We wish to assist you in thinking outside of the box. You may be thinking you are not the 'think outside of the box' type. That is fine and is the reason we are writing this blog. You do not want to waste your time or money, and we are here to help you as you go along. We have great information to share with you once we establish your interest.
Think about how a little child thinks about approaching a new project or idea. They examine it for awhile, then they may try, but then they ask for help in figuring the best way to approach their task. Thinking outside the comfort box is important, otherwise a person may not grow and feel challenged to learn more about their likes, dislikes and personal creativity. You get to bring this array of ideas, lifestyle and colors to fruition and into your personal space whenever you are ready. We will assist you as much as you wish. We want your project to be enjoyable and successful. And, you don't have to leave your home or feel inconvenienced by our presence. All that happens initially is we meet online to say hello, and you can talk about your love of home and decorating with us.
Accentuate Home Styling & Consulting is a great company with vivid imagination and likes to think outside the box with decorating choices and offerings. It is a fact that people using an interior decorator/designer usually has to have a sizeable budget. So, that does leave out a group that would like this experience, but cannot afford it. I've often thought about this, and at one point in my life, I wanted to work with an interior decorator (before I became one). You know what, there wasn't a way to afford such a service for me. Times aren't much better today with the economy as it is, and there isn't any reason why you shouldn't enjoy every aspect of your home and the use of this service offered by us. I must explain, though in all honesty that information is definitely worth it, as long as it places your ideas and fusion of our ideas into something that seems so right to you. Again, our first meeting with be through a normal email contact (firstname.lastname@example.com ). Once we meet through email, we can decide how we will communicate from there-forward. This service is for those seeking decorating advice, assistance and plan to do-it-themselves. We will respond directly to you so please leave us your information in the email. We would love to meet you Ms./Mr. Homeowner as a DIY prospect. Again, reach us at email@example.com or through our website http://accentutehomestyling.com . Take the tour and in the comment section, please provide us thoughts if you desire about our service offered). Give us your opinion about this blog. We are interested. We will definitely communicate with you. We will answer you email, but for the sake of separation, please use email given to talk to us about consulting with you. By this point, we will have met through the use of email (and maybe telephone).
We are professional, and our main objective is to hear your ideas for your home and perhaps offer you additional decorating thoughts about what you could possibly do in a specific room or area within your home. Before we get to that part though, we would like to meet you to talk to you. Before you even make the decision to use us, we offer you an opportunity to check us out. At that point, we will let you know what happens. We want to be sure you're serious, and we want you to know we are serious. Accentuate Home Styling & Consulting is a serious company very interested in our clients and would-be clients. We care about what you want, and how you receive the information. You are Important to Us. Your home decorating issues are Important to Us. Let's get to know one another. Start with emailing us to say hello and if you're interested in hearing from us, we will respond back to you. We are looking forward to hearing from you.
I am sincerely asking anyone related to interior decorating/design and seeking clients to not reply to this post in any of the places it's posted. We are asking for your sincere truthfulness. You wouldn't want anyone (in our line of work) to waste your time. Thank you decorators, designers, etc.
This is a great way to introduce gluten free foods that are being regulated and manufacturers.
AP Photo/Jon Elswick, File• In this Aug. 2, 2013, file photo, a variety of foods labeled Gluten Free are displayed in Frederick, Md., Friday, Aug. 2, 2013. Starting this week, "gluten free" labels on packaged foods have real meaning. Until now, the term "gluten free" had not been regulated, and manufacturers made their own decisions about what it means.

As probably most of us, I have scaled down a little on the high fat foods I love to eat. Every slice of a rich, gooey piece of cake or pie is right up my alley. Do I still eat that type of food like I did when I was much younger? No, is my answer, and even if I were younger then I am, I wouldn't indulge in that type of food anymore. Now, I will confess that I still do the cakes and pies that are beautiful to look at and even better to eat, but only now and then.
House Sitting: Live the High Life
New Form of House Sitting: Live-in Home Stagers Enjoy Fantasy Lifestyle
Craig Craft only sleeps on the left side of his queen-sized bed so as not to unduly muss it up. Most of the toiletries in the bathroom are unopened, high-end hotel samples. The closet hangers are perfectly spaced and angled just-so. An orange-mandarin scent tickles the nostrils.
Each morning, at 7:30, Craft remakes the bed and places a mirrored tray with two crystal glasses and a Brandy decanter atop a faux mink blanket. He wipes clean bathroom counters and vacuums away carpet footprints.
Craft, a fastidious 43-year-old with a penchant for the high life, resides in Potemkin perfection inside a $1.7 million home. The house is for sale. But Craft is in no hurry to move out because he doesn't own it. He just "manages" it.
Craft is part of a unique cadre of house sitters called on by real estate agents to help sell upscale yet slow-moving houses. The home-managing business boomed during the Great Recession as homes sat on the market for months, if not years. It slowed during the recovery but shows signs of again picking up, which doesn't bode well for the residential market.
Accentuate Home Styling & Consulting brings this story to you as a look at how realtors make the homes for sale to represent a clean, but lived in atmosphere. It makes the potential buyers feel very comfortable as they peruse the home. This form of selling the home offers a way to imagine the home with a lived-in look, allowing the prospective buyers to get that true feeling of how it would be living there. The other reason I could see would be to safeguard the home from vandals as it awaits its new owners. I know when my husband was selling real estate, it was important that the house be kept fresh and clean while trying to find that perfect buyer. The home will stay in tip-top shape and not become a dusty mess while it sits vacant until someone purchases it. It's great to see the home as it's lived in, rather than empty, and permits the prospective buyer(s) to garner ideas of decorating, the use of color in the space, and how to get the most out of each room and the space afforded. The home will have a warmth it may not have if no one was occupying the home for a time. People will buy when they can feel the comfort of the home, and it signifies that the people there seem to enjoy the space. They then can imagine themselves in that same space with their personal items and colors that create a 'Welcome Home' feeling.
Accentuate Home Styling and Consulting offers consulting services to homeowners and realtors in staging the home. We collaborate with the owners, realtors and any designated person to make the house a welcome addition to the prospective buyers through the use of colors, placement of furniture and added elements to make the home stand out as a desired piece of property for that perfect buyer to come along and purchase the home.
Time….What would you say is important to accomplish in two minutes? Two minutes may seem like a short period (if there is something fun and exciting going on), or it can seem like an eternity. Either way, two minutes can make a difference in your life.
Time is our friend at times, and at other times, it can be our enemy. For example: you have two minutes to give a set of instructions to someone. Can you do it and that person clearly understands what it is you wish to have done? On the other hand, you may give the same two-minute explanation of something to be done, and there is not a clear understanding, causing many questions to follow. What was a two-minute communication suddenly turns into many minutes of explanation. We have all experienced this two-minute experience in both scenarios.
Why is this happening? Well, I know that every person hears and accepts information given to them differently. So, as I said, one may hear clearly, and the other not so clearly. He/she may need additional information for clarity.
Two minutes ago, I decided to write this blog and return to working on my podcast. Did it work? No, because it took much longer to write about my two-minute rule. Simply the fact that I cannot accomplish these tasks I need to do in two minutes, but I can do some things in two minutes at a time. We all have time restrictions placed upon us due to our own decisions or someone else's. How do you relate to this time frame? Planning our time makes sense and brings order to our life and lifestyle. When we fail to plan each day, we usually fail to reach our goals. It doesn't matter whether they are spoken goals or something that must take priority in an instant. Of course, we cannot plan the latter, because we didn't expect it to happen.
I think in terms of working through anything I have to do. I like to plan things out in my mind, not necessarily on paper. However, things don't always work out and two minutes goes by awfully fast. I've learned I accomplish more when I write things down in the order I wish to accomplish them. What about you?
1. Could you clean up your kitchen area in two minutes if you're the only one using a small particular area? I bet you can. Try it. It would eliminate some clutter or mayhem. Yes, No or do you care?
2. What would be your two minute time frame that is important to you? Is it something you have to accomplish within your home, or is it an extension of your lifestyle? Is it something to do with another person? How will you feel if the outcome isn't met in the two minutes or whatever the time frame? Do you think, "I'll just re-do" (whatever it is) or possibly give yourself extra time now that you know two minutes wasn't enough?
One of the things I think is fun to think about is…what if someone gives you only two minutes to tell them the most important things about yourself according to their importance? Can you do it? It would mean to describe yourself by those very things that are important for someone to know about you.
What about your home? Someone is dropping by, and you feel that the space could stand a little checkup. Could you straighten up your space in two minutes? Yes, I could. If there were small things (like magazines, books or some papers), you can put them in another room until they can be put away. Would you use your two minutes to change the look of the space in a particular room? Would you just stay put and let the two minutes go by as you waited it out, or would you find yourself in a stress moment for those two minutes? It's really hard to be sure how you'd react. It depends on the circumstances and who is visiting. Correct? Instant reactions and decisions, right or wrong would be involved in how you responded at the outset.
My point is we get more than two minutes most times, but we often make our decisions on the fly. Sometimes with things that can/will affect our life, we need to use our two minutes and any extra afforded us. We just use a 1/2 second to 1 minute to make decisions when we should take our full two minutes. Sometimes, we need a lot more time than that. What do you think? Then, there are times when we go over our two minutes by 20 or 30 minutes before an answer appears. We need to identify what is important and what isn't.
Do not stress reading this. I wanted to write about this, because I experience some of these very positions using the two minute rule. The question being: What Would Be Important to Accomplish in Two Minutes? My answer: What you can.. I believe it's more important to be yourself, be accepted for the great person you are and know that sometimes you make your two minute rule and other times you will not. NO WORRY…there's always tomorrow. By the way… emergency task at home or in your lifestyle… think which the priority is and do that. It only took two minutes or less to make this decision. Eliminate the stress of trying to always live in a two-minute timeframe.
Share this with your family, friends and co-workers. It'll only take TWO MINUTES. Thanks!

Do you remember Pathé News? Taking the train to the seaside? The purple stains of iodine on the knees of boys in short trousers? Knitted bathing costumes? Then the chances are you were born in or around 1950. To the young people of today, the 1950s seem like another age. But for those born around then, this era of childhood feels like yesterday. This delightful collection of photographic memories will appeal to all who grew up in this post-war decade; they include pictures of children enjoying life out on the streets and bombsites, at home and at school, on holiday and at events. These wonderful period pictures and descriptive captions will bring back this decade of childhood, and jog memories about all aspects of life as it was in post-war Britain. Paul Feeney is the author of bestselling nostalgia books A 1950s Childhood and A 1960s Childhood (The History Press). He has also written the hugely popular From Ration Book to Ebook (The History Press), which takes a nostalgic look back over the life and times of the post-war baby boomer generation.
Paul Feeney is a non-fiction writer specialising in British social history post-World War II, with an emphasis on the period 1945-1980. He is the author of non-fiction bestsellers 'A 1950s Childhood' and 'A 1960s Childhood'. His highly acclaimed latest book 'From Ration Book to Ebook: The Life and Times of the Post-War Baby Boomers' is tipped to become another social history bestseller.
'A 1950s Childhood in Pictures' is the picture book companion to Paul Feeney's original bestselling paperback book, 'A 1950s Childhood'.

Editorial: Give SPD chief hiring options
Revise 35-year-old city ordinances that restrict choices for Seattle's police chief in hiring top department commanders and senior aides.
Seattle Times Editorial
BUSINESS as usual is not an option for the Seattle Police Department as it works to satisfy a federal mandate to reform policing practices.
Details matter, and Seattle City Council member Tim Burgess has challenged a long-standing city ordinance that limits the police chief to filling the top six departmental positions from within the ranks of the SPD.
Burgess has proposed a change to the 1978 City of Seattle Public Safety Civil Service Ordinance, and it was co-sponsored by City Councilmember Bruce Harrell, who chairs the council's public-safety committee.
Unfortunately, Harrell put consideration of the change on hold until January. This revision should be dealt with right away because it is fundamental to the broadest possible recruitment of the next chief.
There is nothing unusual about a candidate from outside the department possibly filling key positions with talent from elsewhere. Not having that option available would predictably discourage some candidates from applying.
Make the change, and do not water down the intent of bringing new approaches and innovative ideas into SPD management.
Talk is circulating about making the change effective for a few years, then switching back. Or limiting the change to a couple of positions, and leaving the rest alone. No, change the ordinance and move ahead.
The blunt assessment from the Department of Justice about use of force and biased policing has put lots of procedures, protocols and practices under scrutiny.
The department does not have a rotation plan that moves law enforcement officers through various assignments and training. Nor is there a plan to move officers up through the ranks.
The Seattle City Council has provided Mayor-elect Ed Murray with money for an outside review of police management, and extra funds to expand recruitment for the next chief of police.
All the pieces have to fit together, not only to encourage change but also allow it to happen. Maximize the options for the next chief to fill key management posts.

Cross-posted from 18 Million Rising

Just over a week ago, I slid into my car and drove away from #FergusonOctober. Buckled in and gearing up for the 4-hour drive back to Kansas City, all I wanted to do was sing. I sing a lot -- the most when I'm alone -- and singing is often an escape route for my silenced stories and tucked-away emotions.

With my heart full of all I had seen and heard during #FergusonOctober, I immediately called upon the musical companion I most wanted with me on the westward journey home: Richie Havens. Havens' deep, raspy baritone tumbled through the speakers and bounced off the windows like a monarch desperately beating its wings against a wide open world it can see but cannot touch.

Got this video passed along to me and... wow. Just.. wow.

Here's one seriously disgruntled San Francisco tour guide losing her shit and going off on a nasty, racist rant about everything she hates about Chinatown. She apparently decided to commemorate her last day on the job by going for a ride, cracking open a beer, getting on the mic and letting everyone know how she felt.

The video, shot by a German tourist on one of those double decker bus things, features the unidentified tour guide going off on a F-bomb-laden litany of her least favorite things about Chinatown. "Fuck your horse tail. Fuck your ginseng. Fuck your little hair salons where nobody in there knows how to fucking speak English. Fuck this bullshit. Fuck your Chinatown gates..." and so on, and so forth.

In Seattle, authorities are asking for the public's help in searching for a 27-year-old Microsoft employee, missing since last week, whose car was found abandoned at a state park 80 miles north of Seattle.

 Search under way for missing Microsoft program manager

Krishna Venkatesh, a program manager, was last seen at the Microsoft campus in Redmond last Wednesday, October 15. According to the Seattle Police Department, he is believed to have driven to Deception Pass, where his car was found at the south bridge parking lot on Monday afternoon.

Microsoft sent someone to Venkatesh's residence on Friday after he didn't show up to work for two days. His friends, who filed a missing persons report on Monday, say the circumstances around his disappearance are "uncharacteristic."

If there's one book you pick up this week, it has to be Who We Be: The Colorization of America by scholar/author Jeff Chang, now available on shelves from St. Martin's Press. The book, a follow-up to his award-winning classic Can't Stop Won't Stop: A History of the Hip-Hop Generation, examines the seismic racial and cultural transformation of the United States over the last fifty years.

"How do Americans see race now? ...After eras framed by words like 'multicultural' and 'post-racial,' do we see each other any more clearly?" Who We Be covers a lot of ground, offering a wide-ranging history of racialized culture debates and movements over the last half-century. The book is thoughtful, provocative and even playful, remixing comic strips, contemporary art and other media to paint a unique, timely portrait of today's America. Considering everything that's going down in our communities right now, as we speak, Who We Be is required reading.

On top of all that, it's just a cool-looking book. I anticipate that Who We Be will end up assigned on the syllabus of a lot of cultural studies courses. But instead of trading it back to the campus bookstore (what a racket!) at the end of the semester, you'll end up keeping it for your collection. It's that kind of book.

Anybody want to read it? I'm giving away a couple of copies of Jeff Chang's Who We Be to some lucky readers. Scroll down to the bottom for details. First, here's some more official information on the book:

What kind of bureaucratic nonsense is this? In Georgia, a woman is facing eviction after her home was foreclosed on and sold at auction -- unbeknownst to her -- all because of an unpaid tax bill of $94.85.

Woman's condo sold over $95 overdue tax bill

Last week in Norcross, Xiu Liu received a notice informing her that her condo, where she lives with her 4-year-old daughter, had been sold at auction and she would need to move out of the property by November 25. This was news to Ms. Liu, who paid for the two-bedroom condo with cash in 2011.

According to city and county records, Liu has paid taxes on the property every year except the year she moved in. So what gives? Turns out, letters about the outstanding balance never reached her because of clerical errors -- and incomplete address. So how was she supposed to pay the 95 bucks if the bill never got to her?

Some sad news out of Hollywood... Sumi Sevilla Haru, longtime leader of the Screen Actors Guild who paved the way for Asian Americans actors to get better TV and film roles, died last week in Los Angeles. She was 75.

Sumi Sevilla Haru, Former Interim Screen Actors Guild President, Dead at 75

Haru served as the interim Screen Actors Guild president in 1995, and was the first and only woman of color to hold the position. She joined SAG in 1968 and AFTRA in 1972 and served as a national board member for both organizations, often working to address the lack of opportunities and roles for Asians Americans.

In her own acting career, she refused to audition for stereotypical roles, like the maid or the dragon lady, and spoke out against the discrimination Asian actors and the racist practice of yellowface in Hollywood.

Heads up. Our friend Eugene Ahn, who makes nerdy hip hop as Adam WarRock, will be doing a 24-Hour Rap-A-Thon this Saturday, October 18 to benefit RAINN.org, which fights sexual violence and assault. For one straight day, he'll be writing, recording and posting as many songs as he can -- all for a good cause.

Last time Adam WarRock did this, he made 16 songs in 24 hours. With the help of people's generous pledges and donations, he raised enough money to replace some stolen equipment and donated the rest to charity.

The last fundraiser was so successful, he's doing it again. This time, Adam WarRock is going to be raising money directly for RAINN, the nation's largest anti-sexual violence charity. You can support him by pledging a per-song or lump sum donation to the Rap-A-Thon.

Eugene explains how it works:

First things first: I am a lifelong San Francisco Giants fan. So excuse me if this is a little gushy.

The Giants are going to the World Series, thanks to a massive, already-legendary bottom-of-the-9th walk-off home run by Travis Ishikawa last night, giving San Francisco a 6-3 win over the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 5 of the National League Championship Series. The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant!

Kawakami: Put Travis Ishikawa among San Francisco Giants' legendary heroes

Instant hero. Pretty awesome for a guy who, earlier this season, was considering quitting the game.

Ishikawa, 31, started his career with Giants back in 2002, was released, bounced around, started this season with the Pirates, got sent to the minors, but eventually made his way back on to San Francisco's roster. The journeyman first baseman found himself playing left field in the postseason, providing the Giants with some key at-bats and defensive plays. And then, tonight, that homer.

That blessed homer:

Here's the brand new music video for Run River North's "Monsters Calling Home." If the band had an anthem, this would probably be it. In fact, this is the song they performed the first time I ever heard them -- back in 2011 at Kollaboration, when they were calling themselves "Monsters Calling Home" -- and they instantly became my new favorite band. Great performance. Great song.

That's like one grandparent. One racist grandparent."

As a general rule, whenever Hari Kondabolu turns to the camera and says, "Hello, I'm comedian Hari Kondabolu..." you should definitely sit up and listen, because he's about to drop some knowledge. In this awesome Upworthy video, Hari discusses the unfortunate name of the Washington Football Team, and offers his solution for a compromise. Literal red skin. Take a look:

As you might recall, President Obama nominated Dr. Vivek Murthy, a highly qualified and experienced medical professional, to the post of U.S. Surgeon General nearly a year ago. While his credentials make him a no-brainer for the job, Dr. Murthy's confirmation have been stalled by the usual partisan politics.

 A Surgeon General nominee 'tied up in politics'

Dr. Murthy, a guy who probably knows many more things about health and medicine and stuff than you, has some thoughts about gun violence in this country: it is bad, and it is indeed a health care issue. This opinion put him in the sights (no pun intended) of Republicans and the NRA, who decided to block his nomination.

So now, in the midst of some serious public anxiety over the Ebola virus, America finds itself without a Surgeon General, whose job is to effectively and authoritatively communicate what the public needs to know in situations like this. Raise your hand if you would appreciate the leadership of someone like Dr. Murthy right now.

This online petition implores the Senate to stand up to the NRA and confirm Dr. Murthy as surgeon general now. As I write this, the petition has more than 70,000 signatures.

Gupta, currently Deputy Legal Director of the American Civil Liberties Union and Director of its Center for Justice, will take over next week as acting head of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division.

Also, according to a White House official, President Obama is expected to nominate Gupta to be the permanent assistant attorney general for civil rights, a division that oversees voting rights and civil rights investigations, and has been without fixed leadership for more than a year.

yesterday i just racked my winter warmer into my secondary and had some sediment get into it as well some bubbles that were caused by my siphon pulling out of the wort.
my question is today i came in to check on it and noticed that there was a small head of foam or krausen in my secondary is this normal?
this is my second brew ever and its got a high over all gravity of 1.071. also it was still bubbling a few bubbles a minute when i racked it.
It's still fermenting it sounds like. How long did you leave it in primary? Secondary is only somewhat useful if you let it ferment completely and settle in primary, then rack to secondary to help clear it more. Many people, including myself, only primary. 2-4 weeks in primary, then off to keg or bottles. I hate how directions tell you to primary for a few days then rack to secondary. That is pointless.
Probably dissolved CO2 coming out of solution.
"This song goes out to me because I'm so f*ckin' cool!"~John Reis
the recipe said to primary for 7 days so i just did as the recipe read. the only other one that i have done was a wheat beer which was done fermenting it seemed pretty quick. this one on the other hand after a week was still chugging about 2-3 bubbles a min. also recipe said it should be 7% but my readings were 1.073 before yeast and after the seven days it was 1.013. is a week to early?
It depends on a lot of variables. Sometimes it can be done in a few days, sometimes it may take a couple weeks or more to finish fermenting completely and settle out. 1.013 sounds about right for that though, but it could go a little more (I don't know all the variables). Since it sounds like it was near done fermenting, it could just be CO2 coming out of solution as smizak said. Regardless, I still think primary should be 2 weeks minimum.
If it is a new krausen then thatm means fermentation was complete before you racked it over. You racked too soon. You can't brew based on what someone writes as instructions. Yeast don't know how to read so they seldom follow their scripts. They dance to their own tune and its seldom 4 x 4 Time. The way to know when a beer is done when 2 consequitive hydro readings over 3 days stay the same.
If you arbitrarily move your beer, like to follow the silly 1-2-3 rule, you will often interrupt fermentation. Because sometimes the yeast won't even begin to ferment your beer until 72 hours after yeast pitch, so if you rush the beer off the yeast on day 7 then you are only allowing the yeast 4 days to work, and that is really not enough time to get the job done.
Actually taking it off the yeast too soon prevents some much needed cleanup (and the true secondary fermentation period) from happenning. That's why many of us have opted for LONG primary/No secondary. Instead of rushing the beer off the yeast cake before the job is done. The yeast are very tenacious creatures, and if we actually leave them the heck alone, and not move them too soon, they will actually clean up after themselves, and remove their own waste/by products of fermentation, and actually will lead to cleaner, clearer and fresher tasting beers.
Moving it during fermentation more often than not has led to stuck fermentations.....And off flavors. Or extra krausens....
You'll find that more and more recipes these days do not advocate moving to a secondary at all, but mention primary for a month, which is starting to reflect the shift in brewing culture that has occurred in the last 4 years, MOSTLY because of many of us on here, skipping secondary, opting for longer primaries, and writing about it. Recipes in BYO have begun stating that in their magazine. I remember the "scandal" it caused i the letters to the editor's section a month later, it was just like how it was here when we began discussing it, except a lot more civil than it was here. But after the Byo/Basic brewing experiment, they started reflecting it in their recipes.
Next time if you do opt to move to secondary, take 2 reading over 3 days and if they are the same then move it. I usually don't advocate taking the first reading til the 10th day. But if I do rack, I don;t rack til it's been in primary 2 weeks.
Like my snazzy new avatar? Get Sons of Zymurgy swag, here, and brew with the best.Revvy's one of the cool reverends. He has a Harley and a t-shirt that says on the back "If you can read this, the bitch was Raptured. - Madman
I gotta tell ya, just between us girls, that Revvy is HOT. Very tall, gorgeous grey hair and a terrific smile. He's very good looking in person, with a charismatic personality... he drives like a ****ing maniac! - YooperBrew
Yep, that's a krausen alright.
so does this mean that it will be allright? its at 8.3% abv and its still fermenting! yikes it taste okay though lol
Primary: Eagerly Waiting to have one.
Up Next: Get Equipment, and make some Cider, a Pumpkin Ale, A Holiday Ale or Porter, A Stout, An IPA, an Amber Ale, and some mead.
"We are brewers and always have been; and in our brewing we have sought, and we seek, to ally the traditions and craftsmanship of the past with the best that science has to teach us." - Rupert Guinness

washing raw meat?
Along the lines of competition sanitation, what are your thoughts and or rules / suggestions on washing /rinsing your meat when it comes out of the package before begining prep work?
I always rinse meat off in cold water prior to doing any work...just to get the slime off.
Personally, I use Dawn! The lemon citris flavor adds something.
P.S. I'm kidding of course. I sometimes will rinse though.
I understand that you dont have to rinse the meat because cooking kills whatever lies on the surface but it makes me feel better about it.
The long cooking process though probably handles any sanitation concern.
I keep a spray bottle with one cup apple cider vinegar and 3 cups water.
I spray all my meat down well and then rinse with cold water and dry with paper towels prior to prepping.
If you try it once you will most likely make it a habit.
Eliminates any odor and kills any surface bacteria.
Eliminates the slime from the meat and makes it much easier to handle.
i rince all meats with water once it comes out of the package , then give them a light rub down with cider or rice vinegar .
I always rinse with cold water, and some times again with white vinegar.
We always wash the blood and goo of of everything. Being we age briskets they sometimes look kinda funky and you have to do it.
rincing meat
I will sometime rince the brisket if it musky, other than that no.
That slime sure makes it hard to handle a big ole butt or packer with gloves on.
A lot of the babybacks that I have purchased recently from Sams have a lot of bone and slime on them and I rinse them. I have never rinsed anything else, but now I will try the apple vinegar w/water, thanks.
